Getting married under the age of 18, which is wrong IMO, requires both parental permission and a judge approving it. In the eyes of the law marriage is a business contract. That's all. But people apply things to it that aren't at play. In this case, it's pedophilia. Which really means prepubescent.

There's a bill to end child marriage in the US, but it's "controversial", because there's a major political party that keeps arguing that rape in gerneral, but raping young girls specifically, should be legal, just because so many rich white men want to do it.

Yeah, what happened? Huh, what significant change was inflicted on the US? Man, I'm just drawing a blank as to who holds the levers of power & could stop this heinous practice which is the clearest sign of uncivilized barbarism on earth. One of life's mysteries, I guess.
